- v Be itfknown tliatLIpJoHN afi citizen of theUnited.States,"=residinu'at,l Trenton,-in the county-f ofMercerlandtate,

of New Jersey,have-invented certain-'new and useful Improvements inLavatories;4 and I do herebydeclare thefollowincr to be a full, clearand exact description of?) the invention,such as will enable othersskilled` in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.' Ay v The invention relates to certain new and useful improvements inlavatories, particularly those of the vitreous type, and has for itsobject the provision of a supply for drinking water, Vmore particularlyice water, comprising a duct formed integrally with and within thelavatory structure, having a discharge spout overhanging the bowl, butabove any possible rise of the water level therein, and a faucet orvalve device attached to the lavatory structure, and communicating witha source of drinking water and with the duct, the parts being soconstructed and arranged that they occupy minimum space, and do notinterfere with the other elements lof the lavatory, but,

nevertheless, admit of connections being made directly with the sourceof drinking water, at a minimum of labor andexpense The invention isillustrated in the accom.- panying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a typical lavatory, involving Vtheseparate drinking water supply;

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary sectional elevation of the portion of thelavatory containing the said drinkingwater supply device.

Referring to the drawing, 1 indicates the slab of a lavatory, which ispreferably formed as an integral structure of china, clay, or othervitreous material, or, in the alternative, of cast metal, involving thependantskirt or apron 2, and the bowl 3, said bowl being providedwiththe yusualwater inlet 6. Mounted on the slab at the. rear of the bowlare the wash water traps or faucets 4 and 5, between' which is-disposedthe usual waste attachment 6. y

Formed in the body Vof the slab 1, preferably adjacentV one corner ofthe bowl, is a duct 8, the forward or discharge end yof which isdirected upwardly and housed within a bulbous projection'Q, which formsa spout or dischargefoutlet 10, above the i 'if L :Specification ofLetters Patent. yIlalellied Feb. 7,1922- l ala'otcber 29,1921'. serialNo.' 511,282; l i

highest possible water level in the bowl', V and y adapted to. dischargedrinkingwater toward the center' of thebowl so that'fa drinkingreceptacle may beheld beneathl thefspout "level fz'the' l'bgnd;ther-afm.' abba the* 10 to receive fthe 'water therefroim-V-vPreferably"the` duct is formedY partly within the slab 1 and partlywithin an integral Vboss or projection 7, formed integrally with theslab, whichboss is provided with a vertical o ening 11, extendi throughthe saine and connects with the duct 8.

Mounted within the vertical opening 11,

is a suitable valve'mechanism adapted tov control the supply of drinkingwater, preferably ice water, to the duct. In itspre- Vferred form, thevalve mechanism comprises a cylindrical casing 12, having its oppositeends provided with external screw threads 13 and 16, to receive the locknuts and packing Washers 13 and 15 at the lower end and 17 and 18 attheupper end, which kserve to lock the casing 12 tothe slab and inyproper relation within the opening 11. The intermediate portion of thecasing 12 is provided with openings 20 communicating with the `duct 11,below whichopenings is av valve 'seat 19. Abovethe openings 20 thecasing is provided with a perforated partition 21, which forms a pocketVto receivey packing washers 22 and 23, and a helical spring 24.lMounted longitudinally in the casing 122is a Valve comprising a headportion 25 cooperating with valve seat'19, anda stem 26, provided with aremovable button 27 at its top,`which serves also to confine the helicalspring 24, which normally seats the valve. The lower end of the casing12 is interiorly screw-threaded to receive the end of a supplypipefordrinking water. Surrounding 'the upper portion of the casing is a cap28,

provided with a screw-threaded flange 29 engaging a thread on the'exterior of the flock nut 17, said'cap being provided with a throughthe slab, an

central opening, through which the button 27`on the end of the valvestem projects.

From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that the lav'atormay be directly connected with ka source o supply ofy drinking water orice water, without the provision of elaborate and expensive connectionsand attachments, the only accessories to the lavatory being therelativelyl simple valve mechanism whlch is readily connectedV to thelavatory slab and the supply pipe for y'fthe drinkin water.
